Bassett's got me strung out almost as far as I can go..

Prayers will never stop until Bassett is completely healed from the surgery and her burns.

I am saddened to read that dear Bassett is having a setback. She is so special to us all and we hope that she will heal completely.

Oh Naomi,

I am SO sorry to hear what you and Bassett have been going through. I haven't been on site much because of my new job. I come home every night and am too pooped to even sign on, although I do check my e-mails in case there's anything important.

I am praying for the both of you. I think though, you should question the vet about the fluid. Burns can cause fluid to build up (ya know, like a blister???) I think someone at the vets was slacking off while poor Bassett was recovering. IMO, I think you should tell them you are holding them responsible for all the expenses you've had out of pocket for the burns.

Hang in there. Congrats on the new job!!

The clinic has offered me a solution, but unfortunatly it isn't one that will help me at all. They said they would take Bassett, and treat her until she is totally healed from her burns for free. Well, I just started working and I'm not about to spend even MORE money to get her there when I'm treating the burns at home. I will call them tomorrow morning and try to figure something out. I wasn't the one who arranged this plan, so I will tell them that it's not an option tomorrow.

On another note, when I took Bassett in yesterday afternoon for xrays and a drain, the bill came to $533!!! I was REALLY REALLY mad about that. There is no real reason it needs to be that much money, but they made me pay for an exam ("well THIS vet has never seen Bassett before") pre and post medical procedure costs, etc etc. What a huge crock of you know what. Needless to say, unless it's an emergency, I'm never going back to that clinic. I don't have that kind of money.

:( :( I am so sorry this is so hard. The light at the end of the tunnel will be a perfectly healthy Bassett, and I am just SO certain that soon this will be all behind you. Prayers and Hugs.

I really hope Bassett is well again soon.

I was just wondering how our dear Bassett is doing and how are you holding up Naomi?

BUMP

Any updates on our poor Bassett? I keep thinking about her - hope she's bearing up.

Yes, please let us know how our dear Bassett is doing. We hope she is okay and that you are too, Naomi.

I sent an e-mail to her last night, but haven't heard anything yet. I'm getting a little worried as she hasn't posted anything since the 23rd. Gosh I pray that everything is going well.

Has anyone heard from Naomi at all, please let us know.

Her last post was from 25th -buit it was in the middle of puzzle 283 which she hosted -now I am getting worried too.

Sorry I should have explained myself better, I meant that she hasn't posted any updates on Bassett here since the 23rd.

Oh my goodness :o I'm so sorry! I had some friends over on the weekend, and I just started a new job last week, and I've been REALLY busy! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted an update.. but the reason has been no news is good news. She is still doing fine, and her burns are getting better every time I change the bandages. I take her to the vet on Wednesday for her annual shots and another xray, so I may have more news then. Also, because I have tomorrow off, I'm going to try giving Dr. Schiller a call and ask her about that fluid Bassett had a while ago and if it was normal to see it after a surgery like this (at least it's not chyle! woohoo!).

Again, I'm SOOO sorry I didn't respond sooner. I have just been running around like crazy, and tonight is the first night I've had to just sit and do nothing in about 6 days :p

I apologize; I didn't mean to worry anyone.

Naomi :)

PPPHHHHEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW What a relief.
It is so good to hear from you Naomi and it is even better to hear that dear Bassett is doing better.
Apologize excepted.:D

Glad to hear that alls going well with Bassett (and you too:))!

Thank you, Naomi, for letting us know that Bassett is doing okay. I hope the news from the vet visit on Wednesday is good.
We are happy and relieved. I hope you are enjoying your new job and that you had a nice weekend with your friends.

Glad to hear she's almost better! :)

What a pleasure to hear some GREAT NEWS on this thread.

Grateful thanks for prayers answered.

Phewww what a relief. It's just purrfect if this was the first weekend at which your main concern wasn't Bassett:) -this is a really good sign:)

Scritchies for her (and for Nutmeg and Tilly):)

My mom always used to say that......"NO news, is good news". Very glad that you had time to be pre-occupied.

Thanks everyone. It did feel nice to not really have to *worry* about her so much. She goes to the vet tomorrow afternoon for her annual vaccinations, her rabies, and possibly another xray, if the vet feels it's necessary. I'm not stressing her out with bandages tonight, as I know they will have to be off tomorrow at the vet, so she's wearing a baby t-shirt.. she looks TOO cute! hehe :) Sorry, I don't have the camera - it's with Nathan right now :) Anyway, I will let you all know how things are tomorrow when I get back from the vet. Hopefully, this whole ordeal is ALMOST a memory!!!
